The Alphabet Book

Illus. in full color.

Children's Literature

It's the ABCs with a large dose of humor and pizzazz. Starting with a line of ants marching with American flags, the text moves through the alphabet and features a horse on a house, penguins in parachutes, and closes with a zebra playing a zither. For each letter, there is a statement that features an animal or a person with an object that begins with the same letter. The illustrations in this silly, sturdy board book are really amusing. Part of the "Bright and Early Board Books" series. 2000 (orig. 1974), Random House,
